February 2011 Beats

Gr. 5 and 6 pupils take REAT. A total of 53 pupils of the DLA took the Regional Elementary Achievement Test on March 1, 2011 in Dasmarinas Bagong Bayan public elementary and secondary central schools District 2. There were 31 Gr. 6 pupils who took said exam with Dasmarinas National High School fronting Kadiwa as testing center and 22 Gr. 5 pupils in the adjacent Central Elementary School. Their class advisers Teacher Malou Brazil and Teacher Johnirey Sapon with Head Teacher Cristy Gervacio stayed whole day in the said schools to provide full attention and moral support to the DLA examinees any time of the day. Review sessions were conducted to these Grade 5 and 6 classes the whole month of February in preparation for this DepEd mandated achievement test. Coming up is the National Achievement Test for Gr. 6 pupils on March 14, 2011 with venue yet to be announced. All private schools in the Division of City Schools Dasmarinas were required to have 100% of their pupils take the REAT while a sampling was just taken from the public schools.

DLA teachers attend UbD seminar workshop. At least five teachers together with the School Director Pastor Leng Lubang attended a seminar workshop on Understanding by Design (UbD) sponsored by Rex Bookstore on February 5, 2011 at Mater Dei Academy in Tagaytay City. The UbD is a teaching framework that shifts the teaching-learning process from the teacher to the students through interactive activities with the goal of deeper understanding for a more enduring knowledge. With the K+12 Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum to be implemented beginning this June 2011 for the pre-elementary level, Preparatory or Senior Kinder class and full take off next SY 2012-13 in base levels Grade 1 in Elementary and 1st Year in High School, the UbD will provide the channel by which a more enduring learning would take place in the classrooms. All schools are now gearing up for this pedagogical shift which is not actually new but just going back to the basics of learning and embracing what the approach must be in order that learning would happen in mind, heart, body and spirit of young learners. The UbD is hoped to help educators decongest the present curriculum which is one reason for the implementation of the K+12 aside from the necessity of adapting global education standards.

Readiness Class for Incoming Gr.1 set this summer. A Readiness Class for Grade 1 enrolling in the DLA this SY 2011-12 is to be offered this summer particularly for those whose entrance exam result falls short of the basic skills needed to cope in Grade 1 level. The class will begin in May for those who have pre-elementary background but for those who have none and are already 6 years of age it will be in April to complete the DepEd prescribed 8-weeks course. A fee of P500.00/month will be charged each child for the tutorial service alone. Cost of materials and books will be borne by the parents. For reservations please contact the DLA Office 484-0602.

Verse of the Day

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” — Jeremiah 17:7-8Public Domain.
